This doesn't exactly answer your question, but the Ittok works great (on a Linn LP12) with the Shelter 901. The 901 is a fantastic cartridge; great low end, mid range, and high end; the bass is deep and tight, the midrange is open and airy, the high end makes cymbals sound real. I've compared it to the current (not the old) Koetsu Black and the Dynavector 17DII and it has the best qualities of those two plus more; it's really in a different league than either of those two. It's hard to imagine a more detailed, realistic and pleasing cartridge. Get an Ittok and an LP12, mount the 901 and you can move on to upgrading other parts of your system - or just listen and smile.
Denon, Shelter arm choices
OK, kind of a broad question here. What arms will NOT work well with the Denon, Shelter, and maybe Koetsu (specifically RPS) line of cartridges? I am going to upgrade my arm, actually, add another one, on the next TT project. Since I heard about the two-armed Teres getting built, I want to do one for myself! I’m going to start the layout today.
I have the Denon now, 2ea 103r. I want to be able to do a head-to-head with my OL 250, and want to get rid of the RB300. That way I can start with the same cartridges, and go from there.
I just figured it might be easier to know what will not be a "synergistic" match to these cartridges, because they are the only ones that I can foresee being in my upgrade path.
